AN INFANT weighing 1530 g and born at 31 weeks' gestation by emergency cesarean delivery was intubated in the delivery room because of respiratory distress. Endotracheal surfactant was administered, and she was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit. Within an hour, high-frequency oscillation ventilation was started because of difficulty maintaining oxygenation with conventional ventilation. A double-lumen 3F catheter was inserted into an umbilical vein. The baby's clinical condition improved rapidly over the next 2 days, and she was extubated and maintained on continuous positive airway pressure. At age 4 days, she was breathing room air spontaneously.
